Hello,

Well I made it to 5 weeks! (and 2 days) but who's counting.
Things are going fine, I'm not sick just a little tired, or feel like i can hang out on the couch and do nothing.
Monday was my first Dr. visit..That was okay, it was too early to really do anything..But he took some blood to check my progesterone levels. Normal = 9-47 in 1st trimester.. Mine was 45!
I was concerned because I was experiencing some pain around my right ovary, but my blood work came back excellent. So far going strong and healthy.
So at 5 weeks a lot is happening. We get a heart already and it will start to beat. And it's size is a sesame seed. Oh and can't forget about the formation of the tail. (let's hope its gone when it comes out) ;-)
Every week these buggers grow like you would not believe. I'm posting a 3d image of a 5 week fetus. Next week the shape is drastically different.
Hopefully will have an ultrasound picture soon! How exciting. And thanks for sharing with us.
